Career-related learning (CRL) in primary schools is about broadening pupil's horizons and aspirations, challenging stereotypes and helping them develop the skills and sense of self that will enable them to reach their full potential. 

Starting early helps pupils understand the purpose and relevance of their learning, recognise their strengths and see a wider range of possibilities for their future. By building these foundations before key transition points, primary schools can contribute to a longer-term, system-wide approach to supporting engagement and reducing the risk of pupils becoming disconnected from education and future pathways.
